"Cillian Murphy returns with his uniquely unsettling, almost sightless stare as Tommy Shelby, family chieftain of a Romani-traveller gang, a man who has converted his trauma in the trenches of the first world war into a ruthless determination to survive and rule."
"As we join the story some years after the curtain last came down, it is 1940, Britain's darkest hour and Tommy is the crime-lion in winter. He now lives in a huge, remote mansion, far from the Birmingham crime scene he did so much to create, alone except for his henchman Johnny Dogs."
"Erasmus has accepted a secret offer from a sinister Nazi fifth-columnist called Beckett to help distribute counterfeit currency which will destroy the economy and make Blighty easier to invade. Doesn't Erasmus know what Adolf Hitler is going to do to his own Romani people?"
Peaky Blinders concludes its six-season television run with a standalone feature film set in 1940 during Britain's darkest hour. Cillian Murphy reprises his role as Tommy Shelby, the aging crime leader now living in isolation and working on his autobiography. Tommy's retirement is disrupted when he learns his son Erasmus has taken control of the Peaky Blinders gang and is collaborating with a Nazi fifth-columnist named Beckett to distribute counterfeit currency and facilitate a German invasion. The film explores Tommy's struggle with trauma, loss, and his attempt to prevent his son's treacherous actions that threaten both his family legacy and national security.
